Episode Synopsis
How can technology help us design buildings that stand the test of time? 🌍
Alfonso Hernandez is Sustainability Director at Gensler, the world’s largest architectural firm, where he focuses on decarbonization, resilience, and future-proofing buildings. Using computational tools like energy modeling and daylight optimization, Alfonso describes his work as creating a “cone of certainty” to guide design decisions.
We’ll talk about how software is reshaping architecture, why developers now see sustainability as a selling point, and how balancing upfront costs with long-term impacts is key to smarter design.
